Home praised for growth and consistent satisfaction rates

A long-term care home in the Kingston area is celebrating another year of positive reviews.

Speaking from Helen Henderson Care Centre in Amhersview in November 2019, Assistant Director of Care, Melissa Locke, shared the results of an extensive survey completed by residents and families.

According to the surveys, every family (of residents at the home) is satisfied with the medical care by frontline workers who are described as kind, caring and compassionate.

“Our Family and Resident Satisfaction Surveys allow us to reflect on the needs, wants and wishes of the most important people in the home, our residents,” says the friendly manager. “It enables family, staff and residents to work together to enhance our person-centred approach.”

According to the Assistant Director of Care, the home is constantly setting high standards and establishing best practices for quality control.

“We’re always trying to improve, that’s why we’re here,” she explains. “We want to improve the health of our residents, staff and families.”

Known for its beautiful gardens and innovative programs, the home continues to gain attention for its health care that is safe, compassionate and cutting edge.

In early November, the home won an award for business success by the Napanee Business Improvement Association.

Grief support group takes shape at nursing home

When dealing with grief, it helps to look for happiness amid the heartbreak.

Assisting residents of a local nursing home navigate the grieving process is volunteer Barb Kelly of Bereaved Families of Ontario.

“When people are grieving, it’s like a light goes out. They need to learn to live with the loss,” the Amherstview woman explains softly from Helen Henderson Care Centre where she plans to launch a grief support group on Nov. 11.

A volunteer at the accredited long-term care home for the past 14 years, Barb knows the residents and staff from years of pet therapy and supportive visits. She plans to hold the support group for one-hour, twice a month, in the Gibson Family Room.

“It’s such a nice room,” says the 61-year-old trained facilitator. “We can shut the door for privacy. It’s a cheery room with a big window. Light is important. The room conveys the same feel and look of this home: comfortable and cheery.

“I love this home,” she continues wistfully from Reception Three where her father-in-law has lived since last March. “I’ve been kicking around here for quite some time. It’s nice to see a multi-faceted facility like this which has retirement living, long-term care and specialized extended care.”
